We are not called to bring a broken planet back to its created glory. But we are to call broken people back to their creator.

The one indispensable requirement for producing godly, mature Christians is godly, mature Christians.

If we do not worship God, God will not be the lesser for it. But we will.

Obsessing over the future is not how God wants us to live, because showing us the future is not God's way.

You can think too highly of your interpretations of Scripture, but you cannot think too highly of Scriptures interpretation of itself. You can exaggerate your authority in handling the Scriptures, but you cannot exaggerate the Scriptures authority to handle you. You can use the word of God to come to wrong conclusions, but you cannot find any wrong conclusions in the word of God.

Christians often equate holiness with activism and spiritual disciplines. And while it's true that activism is often the outgrowth of holiness and spiritual disciplines are necessary for the cultivation of holiness, the pattern of piety in the Scripture is more explicitly about our character. We put off sin and put on righteousness. We put to death the deeds of the flesh and put on Christ. To use the older language, we pursue mortification of the old man and the vivification of the new.
